PerniciOus Effect of Novels.

In Harper's Magazine of last month
W. ID. Howells, the novelist, says some
plain things concerning novel-reading.
" 1t may be safely assumed" he says,
" that most of the novel-reading which
people fancy is an intellectual pastime
is the emptiest dissipation, hardly more
related to thought or the wholesome ex-
ercise of the mental faculties than
opium-eating; in either case the brain is
drugged, and left weaker and crazier for
the debauch. If this may be called the
negative result of the fiction habit, the
positive injury that most novels work is
by no means so easily to be measured
In the case of young men whose char
acter they help so much to form or de-
form, and the women of all ages whom
they keep so much in ignorance of the
world they misrepresent. Grown men
have little from them, but in the other
cases, which are the vast majority, they
hurt because they are not true-not be-
cause they are malevolent, but because

Under Pressure.

The present is an age of urgent
opportunities. Hearts burning with
Christ's love and burdened with desire
to honor him are not only welcome
they are demanded everywhere. What
city, town, village or agricultural dis
trict does not cry, "Come over and
help us!" And how the vast popula-
tons in unchristianized lands repeat
the Macedonian call with plaintive,
penetrating words! So it really is true
that Christian workers live under a
constant pressure-not to be deplored,
indeed-a cOnstraint from without that
seems to increase as we approach the
fulness of Christ's reign. This con-
straint tends at once to enlargement
and concentration of thought, and con-
sequently to increased effectiveness:
but even this may become the occa-
sion of self-righteousness or of sinful
anxiety. In either case there will
surely follow reduction of our power,
a displacement of that inward strength
which is given to us only when Christ
is exalted. There are two WAYS by
which we may be saved from erring in
either of these directions while under
the imperative calls TO service. First,
consider our Master-his words and his
manner of taking up the burden of his
earthly life. We know that ne was
constantly weighted down with care in
behalf of men. The weary, the sick g.,
the demon-possessed called after him.
Upon the mountain slope, at the Dor
ders of the sea, in novels of poverty
and in the magnificent temple he met
i'm, fA,, ln1, l.
possibly many times, 81 have a bap-
tism to be baptized with; and how am
straitened till it be accomplished! :"
But in all his words, as well as in his
bearing of burdens, were seen only
fidelity to his mission, patience, hope
fulness and holy trust. We should
follow him in these particulars. Then
will we be saved from self, and from
every form of evil to which busy work
ers are so liable. Second, consider
pressing calls as divinely appointed
opportunities. Behold God in every
thing. Interpret his will in the uneX-
pected opening, and not less in the
mysterious closing, of the door. Strange
that we are so slow to see that an alb
rupt silence in one direction is often
the clarion call to the wider usefulness
in some other field Learn how to
connect all the events of life with him.
In this way the soul will not be want
ing in the qualities that made our
blessed Master so conspicuous an ex-
ample. Following Christ, and regard
ing all work as the Fathers, will we
successfully meet outward pressure and
cause it to become even our heavenly
| discipline. Waterman.

they are idle lies about human nature
and the social fabric, which it behooves
us to know and to understand, that we
may deal justly with ourselves and
with one another. Bad as the fiction
habit is, it is probably not responsible
for the whole sum of evil in its victims,
and we believe that if the reader will
use care in choosing from this fungus
growth with which the fields of litera-
ture TEEN every day he may nourish
himself as with the true mushroom, or
at no risk from the poisonous species.
The tests are very plain and simple,
and they are perfectly infallible. If a
novel flatters the passions and exalts
them above the principles it is poison
Gus; it may not kill, but it will certainly
injure; and this test will alone exclude
an entire class of fiction of which emil
nent examples will occur to all. Then
the whole spawn of so-called immoral
romances, which imagine world where
the sins of sense are unvisited by the
penalties following, swift or slow, but
inexorably sure in the real world, are
deadly poison; these do kill. The nov
els that merely tickle our prejudices
and pail our judgment, or that coddle
our sensibilities or pamper our gross
appetites for the marvellous, are not so
fatal, but they are innutritious, and
clog the soul with unwholesome vapors
of all kinds. No doubt they too help
to weaken the mental fibre and make
the readers Indifferent to plodding per-
severance and plain industry, and to
matter-of-fact poverty and common
place Distress

" His Love to Me.o

To an invalid friend, who was a
trembling, doubling believer, clergy
man once said: When leave YOU |
shall go to my own residence, if the
Lord will; and when there, the first
thing that l expect to do is to call for a
baby that is in the house. / expect to
place her on my knee, and look down
into her sweet eyes, and listen to her
charming prattle; and, tired as l am,
her presence will rest me, for / love
that child with unutterable tenderness.
But the fact is, she does not love me /:
or, to say the most for her, she loves
me very little. If my heart were
breaking under the burden of crush
ing sorrow it would not disturb her
sleep. If my body were racked with
excruciating pain it would not inter-
rupt her play with her toys. If l was
dead she would be amused in watching
my pale face and closed eyes. If my
friends came to remove the corpse to
the place of burial, she would prob
ably clap her hands in glee and in two
or three days totally forget her papa.
Besides this, she has never brought me
a penny, but has been a constant eX-
pense to my hands ever since she was
born. Yet, although / am not rich in
the worlds possessions, there is not
money enough in this world to buy my
baby. How is it? Does she love me,
or do / love her? Do 1 withhold my
love until know she loves me? Am l
waiting for her to do something worthy
of my love before extending it to her?"
ooh, l see it," said the sick man,
while the tears ran down his cheeks.
" | see it clearly; it is not my love to
God, but Gods love to me | ought to
be thinking about; and do love him
now as | never loved him before"
From that time his peace was like a
river.-Lights and Shadows.

An Old Poem.

The following, which first appeared fo
ears ago, is taken from a scrap-book:
o that in unfettered union
Spirit could with spirit blend!
o that in unseen communion
Thought could hold the distant friend
Who the secret can unravel
OF the body's mystic quest?
who knows how the soul may travel
While unconsciously we rest?
What Is thought? In wild succession
Whence proceeds the motley train?
What first stamped the vague impression
On the ever active brain?
What is thought, and whittier tending
Does the subtle phantom flee?
Does IT, like the moon-beam ending,
Shine then melt to vacancy?
Has strange, mysterious feeling
Something shapeless, underlined
Ger thy lonely musings stealing,
Ne'er impressed thy pensive mind
AS If one whose strong resemblance
Fancy in that moment drew
BY coincident remembrance,
Knew your thoughts and thought of you?
When at mercy's foot.stool bending
Thou hast felt secret glow,
Faith and hope to heaven ascending,
Love still lingering here below:
Say, hast ne'er the thought impressed thee
That thy friend might feel thy prayer,
Or at least the wish possessed thee
He could then thy feeling share
Who can tell? That fervent blessing
Angels, did you hear it rise?
Do you thus, your love expressing,
Watch DER human sympathies?
DO you some mysterious token
For the kindred bosom bear,
And to what the heart has spoken
Wake chord responsive there?
Laws-perhaps unknown, but certain
Kindred spirits may control;
But what hand may lift the curtain
And reveal the awful soul?
Dimly through lifes vapor seeing
Who but longs for light to break?
o this feversh dream of being
When, oh when, shall we awake?
Yes, the hour, the hour is hasting;
Spirit shall with spirit blend
Fast mortality is wasting
Then the secret all shall end
Let, then, thought hold sweet communion,
Let us breathe the mutual prayer,
Til in heavens eternal union
Thou, my friend, shall meet me there.
Will we then no fond emotion,
Nought of earthly love, retain?
Or absorbed in pure devotion,
Will no mortal trace remain?
Can the grave those ties discover
With the very heart-strings twned?
Must we part, and part forever,
With the friends we leave behind?
No! The past Wen still remember
Faith and hope surviving too;
Ever watch those sleeping embers
Which must rise and live anew:
For the widowed, lonely spirit
Mourns till she be clothed afresh-
Longs perfection to inherit
And to triumph in the flesh
Lo it comes-that day of wonders.
Louder chorals shake the skies;
Hades gates are burst asunder-
See! the newclothed myriads rise
Thought, repress thy weak endeavor:
Then must reason PROSTATE fall.
o the ineffable Forever
And the Eternal All in All

Advice to a Young Man.

Remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle a pick or
a pen, a wheel-barrow or a set of books
digging bitches or editing a paper,
ringing an auction-bell or writing funny
things, you must work. If YOU look
around you will see the men who are
the most able to live the rest of their
days without work are the men who
work the hardest. Don't be afraid of
killing yourself with overwork. 1t is
beyond your power to do that on the
sunny side of tb rty. They die some
times, but it is because they quit work
at six p. NJ. and don't get home until
two A. NJ. It's the interval that kills,
my son. The work gives you an appe-
tite for your meals; it lends solidity to
your slumbers; it gives you a perfect
and grateful appreciation of holiday.
There are young men who do not
work, but the world is not proud of
them. 1t does not know their names
even; it simply speaks of them as old
So-and-so's boys. Nobody likes them
the great, busy world doesn't know that
they are there. So find out what YOU
want to be and do, and take off Your
coat and make a dust in the world.
The buster you are the less harm YOU
Will be apt to get into, the sweeter will
be your sleep, the brighter and happier
your holidays, and the better satisfied
will the world be with you.-Bwdette.

THE true way to make pure and
wholesome our own share in the cease
less tide of words which is forever
flowing around us is to strive to make
pure and wholesome the heart within.
" Keep thy heart" says the wise man,
" keep thy heart with all diligence
for out of it are the issues of life." If
once our hearts have been trained to
care very deeply for what is best
and purest in life, for what is beautiful
and true in thought, our heartiest mirth
our freest jest or hasty words will not
be those of men and women who are
indifferent-who care nothing for noble
living, nothing for high thinking, moth
ing for Christian life, nothing for a
Christian spirit. BRADLEY.
